BRITS are set to be battered by SNOW and gales as yet another Arctic blast sweeps across the UK.
From Monday winter conditions will return before peaking on Friday when the white stuff will coat parts of the UK.
The Met Office has warned strong winds, frost, freezing temperatures and coastal gales are on the cards.
Their forecast for March 7 – Wednesday, March 16 reads: “As we move through the period there will be an increased likelihood of spells of rain, potentially preceded by snow, arriving from the west.
“Winds will likely strengthen through midweek with an increasing likelihood of coastal gales.”
Its thought a big downpour will hit on March 11, enveloping most of Scotland, northern England, Northern Ireland and western Wales.
And forecasters reckon four inches an hour of snow could fall in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Newcastle, and the Lake District.

Wrexham, Liverpool and Blackpool will also see more snow than other areas during the flurry.
Brian Gaze, director and forecaster for The Weather Outlook told The Sun: “Towards the end of this week colder air from the east is expected to start moving across the UK as high pressure builds to the northeast.
“At the moment there is uncertainty about how long it will hang around for and how much temperatures will fall.
“The coldest conditions could well be in the south and east of the UK and that is where wintry showers would be most likely.
“However, as milder air tries to return from the southwest next week there is a chance of longer periods of snow for a time close to the boundary between the cold continental and milder Atlantic air masses."
It comes as bookies have slashed the odds on this month going down as the wettest March on record.
Having been a 3/1 shot earlier this week – Ladbrokes have now cut odds to just 2/1 on this entering the record books as the wettest March ever.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Things can only get wetter if the latest odds are anything to go by, and with even more heavy rain soon set to batter Britain, odds on this going down as a record-breaking month on the weather front are shortening by the day."
